Berry's Own Selection Bowmore 1995Single Malt - Scotland - 56.20%7A sunny malt. Quite sharp and spirity but a pleasant aromatic freshness. Could be a thirst quenching for some. Water does not cut all edges.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 17 Years OldSingle Malt - Scotland - 49.60%7The nose is more interesting than the palate. A full bodied character which has flirted a bit too long with wood. Might suit cigar palates.
